Earlier- LG G4 will not be unveiled at MWC: Report
Date- Jan 21st ,2015
According to a newly emerged report, the LG G4 will not be unveiled at MWC. The report cited an unnamed LG executive who said that the LG G3 was released in May and that there are no plans to launch the sequel earlier than that.

The LG G4 could be released in May, and until then the Korean tech giant will keep working on the phone. But apparently LG will not skip MWC 2015 entirely. The company will supposedly be present at the conference, where it will unveil new wearables and various other IoT gadgets. It plans to unveil a smartwatch equipped with its webOS smart TV platform.

According to the latest rumours, LG G4 will feature Quad HD screen (like on the LG G3, but with a slightly smaller screen size, in the neighbourhood of 5.3 inches), and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor (like on the G Flex 2), alongside a spec bump for the camera, moving up from the 13MP system on the G3 to a possible 16MP unit.

Earlier: LG may target the Note 4 with new G4 flagship phone – Rumour
Date- Dec 30,2014
According to the latest rumours, LG G4 is expected to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in the sense that it will feature stylus capabilities. In fact not too long ago LG had filed for a trademark for the “LG G Pen” which seems to hint that it could either be a stylus accessory or a device with a stylus accessory.

Sources in Asia are saying that the LG G4 will adopt a phablet format and also include a stylus in the mix. We advise caution, as the source does mention a series of product names, so this model they detail may, in fact, be a new LG G Pro or maybe a brand new LG G Stylus. We could see a G Pen mechanism in the mix and over the past years LG has been perfecting its gesture input, so it could amount to new control mechanics.

The documents that appeared so far describe this newcomer as a big screen phone tailored to match the iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy Note 4. It’s expected to have a 5.3 inch screen, with a Quad HD resolution, an ultra-narrow frame design and a Snapdragon 810 64 bit processor, as well as 32 or 64 GB of storage. The newcomer may also provide 4 GB of RAM and a 20.7 megapixel camera, as well as a 3500 mAh battery.

It won’t be the first device with a stylus released by LG. LG has a stylus phone of its own in the form of the LG G3 Stylus, it isn’t as prominent. The LG G3 was released towards the middle of this year, so we can only assume that the LG G4 will follow a similar release date.
